Comixtreme loves “Incredible Hercules” #126
Adam Chapman has posted a rave review of “Incredible Hercules” #126 at Comixtreme.com. Here’s an excerpt:
The story with Cho was fantastic, it was a great character piece for both characters involved, and very revealing. It’s hard not to feel sorry for [Amadeus] Cho, given his life, and all the losses he’s put up with, and had to deal with. Sure, some of the things he’s done haven’t been right, he’s acted like a jerk sometimes, and had an ego that’s larger than some cars, but at his core, he’s a little boy who misses his pet coyote, more than he would ever admit, and wants nothing more than to be reunited with Kirby. The story is an interesting look at friendship, the give and take required, when to let go, when to hold on, and what friendship is.

Wizard loves “War Machine” #3
Andy Serwin has posted a rave review of “War Machine” #3 at WizardUniverse.com. Here’s an excerpt:
My favorite new ongoing Marvel series continues to impress. Greg Pak’s tech-heavy thriller keeps the action pumping faster and more furious than rounds from a .50 caliber Gatling gun, as James Rhodes continues his one-man crusade against military aggression from private security force Eaglestar, a black ops outfit that makes Blackwater look like the Boy Scouts…. With all these shady players on the board, it’s hard to know who to root for, but I don’t mind one bit, because Pak’s powerful plots keep me guessing at every turn. Meanwhile, I’m in constant awe of Manco’s visuals here, which seem to be drawing on Richard Corben’s exaggerated realism to potent effect. If Pak and Manco continue to mine gold from Marvel’s grittier corners, consider me on board for the motherlode.
